2008 Indian embassy attack in Kabul sanctioned by ISI, new book claims

WASHINGTON: The deadly 2008 terror attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul was sanctioned and monitored by senior officials of Pakistan's ISI, according to a new book.

The suicide car bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul on July 7, 2008 left 58 people, including two top Indian officials, killed and over 140 injured.

"The embassy bombing was no operation by rogue ISI agents acting on their own. It was sanctioned and monitored by the most senior officials in Pakistani intelligence," wrote senior journalist Carlotta Gall in her latest book 'The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan 2001-2004', to be out next month.
